Scaling Properties of Text Conditioning in Visual Generation

Hugging Face Daily Papers Papers

Summary

This paper studies empirical scaling properties for text conditioning in visual generation, showing that converged diffusion loss scales with structured language in prompts, and introduces methods to improve diffusability and promptability.

We study empirical scaling properties for text conditioning in visual generation. Such properties have rarely been measured because diffusion loss does not scale with the number of tokens in natural-language prompts. Surprisingly, we find that the converged diffusion loss scales with the amount of structured language in the prompt. To quantify structured language, we adapt two complementary measures: a white-box likelihood metric (GPG) and a black-box attribute metric (ED). Across controlled training runs, the converged diffusion loss decreases approximately linearly with GPG and follows a power law with ED. Guided by these scaling properties, we improve diffusability by constructing structured prompts with semantic and geometric annotations derived from images, and improve promptability by training a prompter through supervised fine-tuning, cold-start, and verifier-gated on-policy distillation. The resulting system outperforms all evaluated open-weight models on nearly every compositional, reasoning, and world-knowledge benchmark, while matching or surpassing the strongest closed-weight models on most evaluations.

Scaling and Distilling Text Embeddings for Better Diffusibility

Hugging Face Daily Papers

The paper shows that scaling text embeddings (e.g., swapping T5-small for T5Gemma-2-270M) greatly improves continuous diffusion language models, and that distilling the scaled embeddings into a more connected latent space makes them easier to generate — achieving Gen. PPL 17.8 that outperforms GPT-2-M.

This paper presents a systematic scaling law study for text-to-image diffusion models, showing they scale predictably but require significantly more data per parameter than language models for optimal training.

Squeezing Capacity from Multimodal Large Language Models for Subject-driven Generation

Hugging Face Daily Papers

This paper proposes a novel approach that conditions diffusion models on Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) for subject-driven image generation, using VAE-based identity conditioning and a Dual Layer Aggregation module to improve both semantic understanding and identity preservation while mitigating copy-paste artifacts.
